Securitas (ISIN SE0000163594) was trading at EUR 13.81 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 4:12 p.m. CEST, up 1.02 percent versus the prior close of EUR 13.67. On the same date, Börskollen reported that Pareto Securities reaffirmed its buy recommendation and SEK 175.00 price target for the security services group.

Pareto sees higher third-quarter EBITA

Pareto expects adjusted EBITA, a measure of operating profit before interest, taxes and amortization, to reach SEK 3.15 billion in the third quarter of 2026. That would represent growth of 1.50 percent from the third quarter of 2025, while the projected margin rises by 0.20 percentage points to 8.20 percent.

The estimate also points to revenue of SEK 38.33 billion in the third quarter of 2026, down 0.50 percent year over year. Pareto identifies the wind-down of SCIS, weaker European aviation activity and the loss of the Pinkerton contract as factors weighing on the fourth quarter of 2026.

Second-quarter profit gives the comparison

Simply Wall St reported that Securitas generated revenue of SEK 37.80 billion in the second quarter of 2026, down 1.90 percent from the second quarter of 2025. Net income increased 12.00 percent to SEK 1.65 billion, and profit margin improved to 4.40 percent from 3.80 percent.

That combination matters for the current valuation debate. Revenue remains under pressure, but the 0.60 percentage-point margin improvement and higher net income show why analysts are concentrating on operational efficiency and the shift toward technology and security solutions.

Results date and stock context

Securitas is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results on October 23, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. Pareto expects net debt to fall to 1.80 times EBITDA by the end of 2026, a balance-sheet marker that could support acquisitions in technology and security solutions.

On Nasdaq Stockholm, the primary listing, Securitas was last quoted at SEK 155.10 on October 5, 2026 at 4:26 p.m. CEST. The 52-week range was SEK 136.00 to SEK 172.00, while market capitalization stood at SEK 88.8 billion on the same date.

Stock stays below its yearly high

The Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 13.81 on October 5, 2026 remains the reference quote for German investors, with the daily move calculated against the EUR 13.67 prior close. The next scheduled company figure is the third-quarter report on October 23, 2026, while Pareto's SEK 175.00 target keeps execution on margins and cash generation central to the valuation discussion.
